A long time ago in a jungle far, far away, a human boy was raised by animals who somehow instilled in him the virtues that we like to think make us good people. This lad was Mowgli, the invention of British poet/novelist Rudyard Kipling, whose tales of Mowgli and his family and friends filled books published in 1894 and 1895.

Adapted by Reg Bradley from Kipling's books, the Tears of Joy Theatre restages its popular "Jungle Book" puppet show. Audiences may have seen at least three film versions of "The Jungle Book," including the 1942 classic live-action version and the 1967 animated Walt Disney version. This live show offers a timeless appeal, colorful puppets and the chance for audiences to directly interact as the "wolf pack" while the play unfolds.
